1. The odds are about 4 to 1 against surviving a takeover offer, and many business consultants therefore advise that a company’s first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse to take calls from likely corporate raiders.

(A) that a company’s first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse

(B) that a company’s first line of defense in eluding such offers be to refuse even

(C) a company defending itself against offers of this kind that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse

(D) companies which are defending themselves against such an offer that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse（B）

(E) that the first line of defense for a company who is eluding offers like these is the refusal even

why is B?please help me!

C D E肯定都是错误的，句法结构逻辑意思都有错误。关键是A和B的比较。A中的like these，these应该有问题，上面说的offer只有一种，如果有很多种，就对了。

不知道我分析的是否有道理，欢迎大家一起探讨。
